THE LAST SPIKE.
The Preparations That Have Been Made
to Celebrate the Event.


to Celebrate the Event.
Colonel Crocker, of the Southern Pacific
received dispatch yesterday from the
Mayor of Salem, the Capital of Oregon.
asking that the necessary arrangements be
made IN preparing for the approaching
" last-splke celebration to have the north
bound excursion train stop some time at
Salem. The Salem citizens have been plan
ming for grand display and entertainment
on the arrival of the excursionists. and the
only thing that troubled them was the time
they would have for carrying out their pro-
sramme. The railroad people have decided.
and VIII SO inform the Salemites, that the
tram Will stop at least two hours at that
point. Governor Pennoyer and other State
officials will be there, il is understood. and
a pleasant reception may be anticipated by
the excursionists.
The railroad company will run on the
excursion to Portland as many Pullman
coaches as the number of volunteer excur-
sloEists will make necessary. The round
trip fare for the weeks trip will be $25.
Excursionists may sleep and board on the
train. The official delegates from this CITY,
State and various town Boards of Trade
Will number seventy-two in all, and will
occupy three Pullman coaches. In aGdi-
ton there will be another coach for the
accompanying band and dining car. Each
delegate, or the body he represents, will
pay for the trip at about the same rate as
any other excursionists. For the original
excursion train of three Pullman coaches,
dining cars and locomotive the railroad
company has been guaranteed 81 500 by the
committee having the matter in charge. 1t
is likely that several additional cars will
be attached to the train on leaving this
city, and at Sacramento and Chico it is
expected to attach other cars. Preparations
will be made to make the excursion into
two trains, that the steep grades of the
Siskiyou section of the road may be passed
over without difficulty.
The excursion will probably leave here
on The 10th inst. The last spike, that when
driven home will sigualize the completion
of the coast overland line, will not be
driven until the arrival of the excursion at
that locality, few miles this side of A sh-
land. 1t Is expected that the up-bound ex-
cursionists will be met at this point by a
party from Oregon, and the plan at present
is to have Governor Pennoyer WELD the
sledge and drive the last spike. It is no.
yet known what railroad officials will ae-
company the party, but probably Charles
| Crocker and Colonel Fred Crocker, Land
Agent Mills, who first suggested the hold
ing Of celebration, and Chief Engineer
Hood viii be of the number. The dele.
gates from the State Board of Trade will be
as at present arranged, President A. t

any differences of opinion touching rights
under existing treaties or public law, which
may not be reconcilable after discussion, or
be superseded by new arrangements
mutually satisfactory, should be referred to
friendly arbitration. after the example of
the General Conference, both parties agree

| "A question as to Lamar's Fitness for the
Supreme Bench.
itofyfG"' 1887, dy tie California Associcted Press
WASHINGTON, December 1st-Within the
past lew days considerable discussion has
been evoked by the statement that Lamaris
confirmation as Justice of the Sunrene
Court will be opposed by the Republicans
OF the Senate on the ground OF the dislovsI
sentiments uttered BY the Secretary while
ne was Senator, rendering him unfit TO be
Justice OF the Supreme Court. The state
mehts nlS, OF Lamars views are based upon the
following words used in a speech in tha
Senate, IN reply to Mr.. Sherman. on Janu-
ary H. 1885:
We of the South have surrendered ppon all
questions which divided the two sides in thai
controversy. We have given up the right of
the people to secede from this Union. and we
have given up the right of each state 10 indge
for itself of infractions of the Constitution and
the mode of redress. We have given m the
right to control our domeltic institutions We
fought Tor all these, and we lost IN that contro-

Speaking of this matter TO-DAY. and of
his views upon che result of the war Mr..

any office, may say that / would be mani

the same view of the Constitution and the
rights of State that held before the war,

pated with me in secession. We have ac-
cepted the result of the war, and do not
pretend to maintain our theories of those
times regarding the sovereign rights of
States or the construction of the Constitu-
ton.
We accepted the result of the war, gave
our sovereignty as States, and found our
selves merged into one great nation. The
States gave up all that they had claimed.
and we cheerfully agreed in the decision
OF might to which both sides submitted
their causes. They would be traitors now
to oppose the present order of things, but
my views are that we were not traitors
then, and that is what meant by defend

CINCINNATI, December 1st.-The Garfield
statue by Michaus was unveiled this after
noon before an immense concourse of peo-
pie. The daughter of Mayor Smith pulled
the cord that loosened the;veil and revealed
the statue. The performance was greeted
with tremendous cheers. The statue is of
heroic size and stands upon tall granite
base midway of the intersection of Eighth

The preliminary ceremonies began at l
O'Clock, and consisted of speech at Music
Hall by Hon. Ezra Taylor, Representative
in Congress from Garfeld's district, and a
procession from Music Hall to the statue,
in which the soldier societies and the
militia took part.
The statue was paid for by popular sub
scription. Taylor's address was full of
forcible points relating to the life and sery-
ices of the martyred President
Governor Foraker and Samuel F. Hunt,
OF Cincinnati, also spoke. Letters of re-
gret, containing glowing tributes to the

New YORK, December 1st-The Tele.
gram says: The announcement that the
persons who are moving 10 build a new
telegraph line between New York and San
Francisco have filed petition with the
Secretary OF State for presentation to the
Massachusetts, Legislature for the incor-
poration of company is attracting much
attention in business circles There is n
diversity of opinion as to whether the pro-
Ject will ever be carried through. Chester
Snow, who is the prime mover of the
scheme, has selected for the name of his
association, The Automatic Postal TeIe-
graph Company. He proposes to start off
with a capital of $50 0o0,000.
According 10 his prospectus the line can
be constructed at much less expense than
ordinary telegraph lines, and the automatic
system Will enable the managers to reduce
the operating cost TO a minimum. The in
tention is to use copper wire. which will
be strung on light poles. Snow has ex-
pressed himself as confident that the Mas
sachusetts Legislature will give him a
charter and he thinks there will be little
trouble in securing right of way in the
various States through which the line is to
pass.
Although the privilege of issuing capital
stock to the amount of 10000, 600 is TO be
asked for the initial corporation will be
started with a capital of SO 100000 Where
all the money will come from with which
to build and equip the line has not been
stated by the friends of the enterprise, but
the supposition is, that Boston capitalists
will furnish the larger share and that the
remainder will be raised in New York and
Philadelphia.
President Chandler of the Postal Tele.
graph Company, when asked what he
thought of the proposed new iine replied:
" have not much faith that the scheme
will ever be carried into effect. The Postal
Automatic has no connection with the
Postal Telegraph Company. 1t Is an en-
tirely separate concern, in which none of
our stockholders, so far as | know, have
any pecuniary interest whatever. l believe
that Chester Snow, the prime mover, is
deeply interested in the manufacture and
sale of telegraph WIRE

being taken alive
Shinn was serving term of twenty-five

He was trusty, and was out of the yard
dozen times day delivering goods with his
